It's uploaded on Vimeo, so check it out! I think it came out quite well.

This is the best thing I have ever seen.

Ever.

EVAAAAAAAR...

funniest one yet for me and I do enjoy the personality boost to the characters! I always thought of cremity as just a bad filler character that would probably die and no one would notice. well until now.

Cremity vs Engies...
Sad and yet entertaining to watch him get beaten up by the galaxy's nerds. :lol:

Great funny moments, there, and a great cutting between the space battle and the Engi slap fight with Cremity. That's close to my favorite moment of the series; I'm not sure if it's this or the Scrap Rap from sector 1.

I beg to differ - while I love most of the series, the boarding fight was a huge letdown for me. No alarm, no barricading, no clever use of venting rooms ( ;) ), all possible cliches of "wanna be grade B hollywood" fight scenes (like attackers waiting for defenders to fully arm before starting shooting), pokemon-like fight scenes of rockman ("rockman used rock fist... it was super effective1!1!!1"), etc, etc. Fortunately, post-boarding scenes save the episode.

But, I see "scrap rap" as worst scene in the series (with boarding fight holding glorious 2nd place), so I can imagine that people loving the pokemon song may like pokemon fight scene ;)

// Edit
I still hope that my favorite character so far - this baddass rebel female general (raven?) will live up to the hype of awesome entry that she had.

How can you not like The Scrap Rap? That was the best thing ever seen, done or eaten (well second-best to Limozeen In Space) and the reactions of the crew were priceless. "Put me back on that desolate rock where you found me!"

But I agree, the boarding fight wasn't that great. However boarding in FTL isn't that great either. It pretty much is a slap fight between the crew until one is free to use a gun.
So why are people so disappointed when the in-game boarding operations are pretty bad?
